My answer for both -- "Wild Boys" (though I have a certain affection for "The Chauffeur" video ).

I'll throw one out that probably won't get mentioned.

New Moon on Monday.

The first line of the song stuck with my since it first came out. "Shake up the picture, the lizard mixture." WTF???

Their concert release on dvd was amazing. Unlike a lot of other mostly 80's bands, it didn't feel old or like some reunion tour of music that was from another time. It really felt like it could have been a relatively new band playing those songs.

'The Reflex' is my favorite song ever, so I kinda have to go with that one. [Still pissed they didn't play it when I saw them on the "Astronaut" tour, but what can you do?]

Video? I'm kinda partial to 'Union of the Snake' myself.

For the song, I've always liked "Save a Prayer." I don't know, maybe it was all the zoo noises.



For the video, I don't know. I didn't have MTV back then so I only ever saw like two of their videos.

Well, "The chauffeur" was what got my love for things B&W-related blossoming. But still, "Hungry Like The Wolf" remains as both my most favorite song and video.

Song: The Reflex
Video: Hard to say with this video-pioneering band (almost surely "Rio" or "Hungry Like the Wolf") but I've got to give a shout-out to a video I don't see yet mentioned--"Planet Earth", so creepy and "euro-chic" and that ending when Simon jumps off into the endless abyss...maybe a little cheesy now, but wow, evocative as hell when I was 9.

The Reflex because it's the closest they ever came to a real rock song.

Hungry like the Wolf for vid.
